We will examine the beginnings of museums in Slovenia and their first publishing projects, from the first editions of the Carniola Regional Museum in 1832, to the end of the Second World War. We will draw attention to the importance of museums in the development of scientific and professional journalism. The first museum in Slovenia was today's National Museum of Slovenia, which was founded in 1821 and is our oldest continuously operating cultural and scientific institution. Museum societies and museums were the first institutions in Slovenia where scientists and experts gathered, and through their collecting, exhibiting, research, teaching and publishing activities, they played one of the central roles in the development of both local history and natural science disciplines. Museums and galleries all over the world issue publications, thereby significantly complementing their mission of knowledge transfer. The founders of Slovenian museums already wrote this in the relevant founding acts upon their establishment, and most museums fulfilled this mission already in the first years of their operation. The first museum publications were issued in the form of small booklets in which they presented their mission, collecting policy, spatial issues and collections. They published guides, which included presentations of emerging collections, exhibition catalogues, separates of particularly important local history contributions, as well as scientific monographic publications, prepared by museum curators or members of museum societies. In particular, museum serial publications were of great importance for the development of professional and scientific journalism in Slovenia and in the Slovenian language. The paper is accompanied by a bibliography of publications by Slovenian museums and galleries between 1832 and 1945. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Purpose: The publishing activity at the Music School Jesenice (MSJ) and the articles published about it in local periodical publications are presented. Methodology/approach: Publications and articles are presented in two separate bibliographies. Results: The bibliography of publications of the MSJ and the bibliography of articles about the MSJ were prepared. First bibliography includes 111 units and the second bibliography includes 199 units. Research limitation: The publishing activity at the MSJ started more intensively after 2003, therefore the bibliography includes publications published by MSJ from the beginning of 2003 till the end of 2020. The inclusion of articles about MSJ into COBIB database started systematically in the year 2017, therefore the bibliography includes articles published about MSJ from the beginning of 2017 till the end of 2020. The publications published by MSJ before 2003 and the articles published about MSJ before 2017 are not included in the bibliographies. Originality/practical implications: With publishing activity and the inclusion of publications published by MSJ and aricles published about MSJ in local serial publications in the system COBISS, we wanted to make sure that the memory on activities at MSJ (performances, concerts and other activities) will remain. Therefore, we decided that these publications and articles deserve more detailed presentation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Purpose: The purpose of the article was to evaluate the collection of serial publications in the Jesenice Municipal Library and to set the goals for its future development. Methodology/approach: The methodology that we used is a comprehensive review of the collection of serial publications in the Jesenice Municipal Library for the last ten years and the comparison of these data to the to the Professional recommendations and standards for the public libraries: (for the period 2018-2028). Results: Most serials that are part of the collection of serial publications at Jesenice Municipal Library, are classified in UDC group 0. Using COBISS3 software and its segment Serial publications highly facilitated the management of the serials collection. The correspondence of the serial publication collection with the quantitative indicators for library collection listed in the General Recommendations and Standards for local public libraries from 2018 regarding the acquisition of serials is 58 %. According to the professional recommendation the acquisition of serials for readers up to the age of 15 should also be increased. The lending of serial publications and the number of visitors of reading room that is a part of Jesenice Municipal Library decreased for about 35 % in the last years.

The article outlines the socio-historic circumstances related to the emergence and development of serial publications, their properties and characteristics affecting the specificities of the collection and storage of legal deposit copies. Short description of the history of legal deposit on Slovenian territory is followed by a numerical survey of legal deposit copies in the years 1948-2006. It is expected that the new Legal Deposit Act will enable more regular and thorough inflow of legal deposit copies of serial publications in National and University Library. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The importance of standards that determine the layout of serials and contributions is increasing. In the case of the printed format of serials the importance of standardization is also acknowledged by the Ministry of Higher Education, Science and Technology. Adherence to ISO standards for documentation is required for the financial sup- port of this ministry. Standardization of the emerging electronic formats of serials is still in progress. There are guidelines, but there are no standards that would determine the necessary layout, content and the data. Users of these publications need the essential information to determine the relevance of the document. For all the reasons mentioned above, the adherence to standards and other recommendations for the printed and electronic formats for some of scientific and scientific serials from the technical field published in Slovenia was analysed. The sample of seven serials revealed that the most obvious weaknesses are untimely appearance and absence of ISSN of electronic formats. The results could contribute to a better quality of serial publications in Slovenia. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
